Inside Wheel Rub...

I was underneith my car the other day and noticed that both my wheels were scored about 1/8 of an inch deep all the way around the inside the outer part of my wheel. I think the steering rods or whatever are rubing on my wheel when I turn. My alignment is fine, so it's not that. I have the stock GTA wheels on my car. What causes this??? Thanks

Have you rotated your tires lately? The rear wheels have more back spacing than the front wheels on the factory 16X8 wheels. If the rear wheels are mounted on the front, they could rub on the struts or end links.

Yeah I know the wheel spacings are different. I don't understand why it's doing it, I haven't hit anything so nothing should be bent. It's just like the front wheels need to set out about 1/8 of an inch.
